Virgin Active meanwhile, says that its members can earn Vitality points for completing workouts at home.

30 minutes = 100 Vitality points

“We have worked in partnership with the Vitality team, to ensure that we continue to reward you for keeping active during these uncertain and challenging times.

“For every workout, or combination of workouts, over 30 minutes you can earn 100 Vitality points per day, for this lockdown period. Each day you will have a new opportunity to earn points just by doing another 30+ minute workout,” Virgin Active said.

It noted that Vitality has also launched Vitality at Home, a new platform to help keep members healthy and stay rewarded while they achieve their fitness and nutrition goals at home.
